unborn child. but now proposition 34 could take these convicted killers off death row. >> the best way is not to use murder. >> reporter: the catholic church is telling its 10 million member congregation in california to stop using the death penalty by voting yes on the proposition 34. if passed more than 725 prisoners would be taken off death row and sentenced to life without parole. former san quentin warden says, getting rid of the death penalty would save the state $130 million per year. >> during my time there almost 100 died of natural causes or suicide. almost 100 others had their sentences overturned after years of appeals. when you think about it, we're spending this money on a handful of individuals who are right over there at san quentin who will likely die at san quentin. and it just makes no sense. >> reporter: she believes that the constant trials and appeals

hurt victims' families for a longer period of time. >> some of them asked for the death penalty and came to realize the years of appeal and reading about the offender over and over again in the newspaper was a burden to them. >> reporter: opponents of prop 34 who want to keep the death penalty say it's not about money. it's about safety. >> does it cost more for the death penalty? is it near as much? no. should it cost more than other cases in the criminal justice system? of course. it's the highest punishment. is it talk about when we talk about serial killers, cop killers, baby killers. we'll never know if it's a deterrent but it's a deterrent when sentence is imposed without pay doubt. >> reporter: in the latest field poll conducted in conjunction with uc-berkeley it shows among likely voters about 42% vote yes. that means that would get rid of the death penalty. 45% said no to proposition 34. that means you would keep the

death penalty. and 13% were still undecided. so here's what's interesting about the field poll. they have been checking voter sentiment for 50 years now and consistently it shows that voters have been in support of the death penalty especially for heinous crimes. but the last several years, the field poll noted that voters had actually had a decreased support for the death penalty. so clearly, this poll is so close it's still up for grabs. >> still an emotional debate, too. grace lee, thanks. it is back to the battleground states for president obama after a brief bay area fundraising stop. air force one left sfo a few million dollars heavier this morning. though money coming from a pair of high dollar campaign events in san francisco yesterday. now it's on to ohio. a make-or-break state could decide the entire election. ahead at 6:30, how each candidate is trying to swing the critical battleground states into his own column. right now san francisco's

board of supervisors is considering the fate of ross mirkarimi. you're seeing a live picture now from city hall, where the board could decide tonight if a domestic violence case will cost the suspended sheriff his job. cbs 5 reporter joe vazquez has been monitoring the testimony. joe. >> reporter: this hearing is going into its fourth hour now and they are expecting some decision within the next few hours. >> reporter: as suspended sheriff ross mirkarimi and his wife looked on the board of supervisors special hearing began with the formal decision from the ethics commission. chairman ben hur told the supervisors how after nine hearings over 5.5 months, a majority of his commission thought mirkarimi was guilty of official misconduct for bruising his wife's arm after an argument on new year's eve before he took the oath of office but hur made it clear he disagreed with his colleagues. >> i think the conduct was morally inappropriate. i think it was wrongful. but there must, i think, be a line between official misconduct

and personal misconduct. and i could not find a principled way to make that distinction based on the arguments suggested by the mayor and ultimately the decision made by the majority. >> reporter: next the mayors and sheriff's lawyers took turns giving their final arguments as to whether mirkarimi should remain sheriff. >> the ethics commission found the conduct was serious that he committed this conduct after he had already been elected to office, and they also found that this misconduct was centrally related to the duties that the sheriff has. >> i submit to you that removing a democratically elected official from office for a misdemeanor committed while he wasn't even in office is not justice. >> reporter: earlier in the day mirkarimi supporters crowded the steps of city hall, many of the same folks inside now giving public comments not supervisors. >> we are here as a family.

our extended family fighting for justice. this is a family that wants to be together and it's a very important moment for san francisco. >> reporter: they have been hearing from the public for the last couple of hours. dana, last i checked there were about 100 people in line so this could go a couple of more hours. after that they are expecting to have a vote from the board of supervisors, but as we have all learned from this entire ordeal, expect the unexpected. they don't have to finish this thing tonight. a lot of people hope they do. >> thank you, joe vazquez. bay area headlines. the oakland officer who shot and killed a teenager during a pursuit has been cleared of any charges. prosecutors say officer miguel masso acted in self-defense when 18-year-old alan bluford pointed a loaded semi-automatic pistol at him in may. bluford was shot three times in the chest and shoulder. a veteran uc-berkeley police officer accidentally shot himself in the leg this morning. he was getting dressed in the

police department locker room in sproul hall when the gun went off. he will be okay. in calistoga authorities blew up a crate of ether at the napa county fairgrounds today. wooden crate containing 24 pounds of the volatile dangerous material was found yesterday. it was originally part of a stash of disaster supplies for a 200-bed hospital. it had been stored at the fairgrounds since 1957. while so many places put the brakes on those red light cameras, the bay area city that could spend millions of dollars for more of them. >> entangled sea lions at the san francisco pier, our exclusive video of the rescue. >> a beautiful finish to a lovely tuesday in the bay area. also things are shaping up on the san andreas fault. we'll have the latest after a break. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

a hit-and-run crash near an antioch school put three people in the hospital today. a crossing guard, her young son and another woman were injured outside turnerment this morning. witnesses say the driver was speeding and trying to pass cars lined up to drop children off at school. the suv ran through the intersection, plowed into the pedestrians, and crashed into another car according to police. the driver and the passenger then got out and ran. >> and all of a sudden the car caught on fire and the policeman ran over there with fire extinguisher to put it out. >> police say that a man later returned, said he was the driver, and admitted he had been drinking. he was arrested. police are still searching for the other person. well, still not clear if they make the streets any safer, but one thing is certain, wherever red light cameras go up, a heated debate is sure to follow. cbs 5 reporter ann notarangelo on the bay area city that could soon put a lot more of them on the streets and why some drivers are saying, that's a

good idea. reporter: the last light before the freeway entrance is often the last place you want to stop. and the city of oakland knows that and has a red light camera on 27th and northgate, one of 13 cameras in 11 intersections, one that nabbed this driver. >> i was fixing myself and i was went through the light when i was going to san francisco. >> reporter: the city of oakland is considering more than doubling the number of cameras in this city to 30. carolyn sharp used to drive a tanks -- used to drive a taxi here and is all for it. >> they need to put more up for the simple fact that not only do we have a lot of red light runners, but we also have a lot of showboating. >> reporter: it will cost the city about $2 million to extend the contract with the red light camera company for three years. the city brings in about $1.3 million each year from tickets which is quite a contrast to about a half dozen other bay area cities that have either abandoned red light cameras or are in the process because it's not cost-effective. emeryville did away with theirs

in june. >> smaller city so they might --they're more law-abiding citizens in emeryville. >> reporter: in oakland the cameras are set up so not every violator is caught. >> the camera doesn't click unless you're moving 15 miles an hour. so for all those rolling red turns which is --there's one intersection in particular, you have to be really moving right through that intersection before you get a ticket. >> reporter: some members of the city council want to explore something else. studies show lengthening the duration of the yellow light can prevent more collisions than a camera. and it's not clear if the cameras are having the desired effect. police say some of the intersections have seen fewer collisions. some have not. >> that's why it's hard for to us make a decision. so i mean, i am asking for more information. >> reporter: councilmembers say since more information is need, they don't think they will vote tonight. instead they will go back to staff ask them to meet with the police department and traffic engineers to provide more analysis and after that, they will take a vote on whether or

not to add more cameras. in oakland, ann notarangelo, cbs 5. gas prices in california are still the highest in the nation but there's been a bit of a reprieve. prices jumped only a fraction of a cent overnight. at the beginning of the month, the average price of a gallon of regular gas was $4.17. the price rose 50 cents since then up to $4.67 on average a gallon. since gas is so expensive, drivers are turning to electric cars. at an astonishing rate. cbs 5 reporter len ramirez tells us one south bay dealer had a record-breaking weekend. len. >> reporter: electric cars have always been popular in the bay area and california in general but sales are surging nationwide and this is the car people are after, the chevy volt. you know, the price of gasoline is starting to push people in the direction of plug-in vehicles and $5 seems to be the sweet spot at least when it comes to sales of these types of vehicles.

>> all right. hop in and drive and off we go. >> reporter: andre boulet just bought a plug-in hybrid chevy volt and now feels like a genius especially when he drives past the gas stations pumping octane at nearly $5 a gallon. >> i think i'm sure glad i bought this car because i bought it three weeks ago and i have driven 567 miles on the odometer and i still haven't put in gas. >> reporter: his timing was perfect but he is not the only one taking van. -- he is not the only one taking advantage. >> volt is currently our number one selling vehicle. >> reporter: with gas prices surging, so are sales of the volt and other electric and hybrid cars. >> we sold 18 over the past weekend and the past 45 days we have sold over 100 of these vehicles. >> reporter: that's about three times the normal number of monthly sales. >> i think when gas gets near $5 a gallon, people come out and seek these type of cars and are looking specifically for electric or hybrid type cars that get great gas mileage. >> when the battery is empty i can continue going on gas. >> reporter: the volt has two motors, one electric, one gas.

the gas motor only kicks in when electric power is running low. compared to other popular hybrids and full gasoline cars its size, the volt is cheaper to drive over the long term even though at close to $40,000, it's more expensive to begin with. >> i can take the car up to san francisco and putter around the whole day and come back and barely use any gas and when i'm commuting to work, i don't use any gas at all. >> reporter: just think about that last line, gas-free commuting. that's one of the reasons why the government is giving big subsidies on cars like this. it retails for sticker price $45,000. but you can get about $10,000 in discounts a big chunk of that coming from the government. they want people to be in these types of vehicles. >> all right. len ramirez in the south bay, thank you. now to find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood, log on to cbssf.com/gas. it's not a done deal yet but the alameda county sheriff

is looking into using drones to help fight crime and as soon as that word got out people raised concerns about privacy. cbs 5 reporter john ramos on the technology and the apprehension. >> reporter: from his 12th floor office, alameda county sheriff greg ahern has a bird's- eye view of oakland's lake merritt. and that's a useful view it have when trouble is breaking out, as well. so for that reason -- >> started looking into the potential usage of a drone within alameda county sheriff's office. >> reporter: the sheriff's office used to have a helicopter. but it became too expensive. so now they're considering buying one of the new generation of camera-equipped drones being market to law enforcement. they can be assembled from the trunk of a car and give an instant aerial view to police. sheriff ahern says it would only be used in emergencies. >> simply deployed in a tactical situation when the people on the ground thought it would be beneficial to have an aerial view of what was happening. >> reporter: but the public has

mixed feelings about the miniature spy planes. >> you have to weigh the positive and the negatives. will they spy or help solve crimes? >> i welcome it especially in oakland. >> kind of messed up spying like that using device is something else. >> reporter: the sheriff says this is a crime-fighting tool and nothing more but when you talk to those who oppose it, it's not distrust of the technology but of the people using it. and that's especially true of mark winston who says assurances of good intentions are not enough. >> in my experience, where there's potential for the government to abuse technology that allows them to conduct further snooping, they call it surveillance on the public at large, such abuse occurs. >> i know they are concerned with the privacy issue and what would happen if the drone was videotaping 24 hours a day, which is not the case. >> reporter: the drones can cost up to $100,000. but reassuring a suspicious public may be the toughest sell

of all. in oakland, john ramos, cbs 5. a rescues mission at san francisco's pier 39 for two sea lions tangled in fishing wire. crews managed to capture only one of them and even that one wasn't easy. cbs 5 reporter patrick sedillo shows us some exclusive video of the rescue. >> reporter: it was a rescue days in the making. >> it's pretty good to be able to get them at this point. as you can see, it's really tough. these guys are hard. and it's not easy even when we use darts and things like this. >> reporter: the 100-pound sea lions nicknamed the blonde bomber was first spotted last week with fishing line wrapped around his neck. he showed up again at pier 39 this morning looking distressed. the marine mammal center arrived with a crew of at least a dozen and with one shot he was taken down. >> yeah, i still feel like they need to get to him a little quicker. >> reporter: it took some time

to get to him because of safety reasons. >> we have to balance out what's the best for the animal take our time be really careful. so this is typical for one of these guys that's entangled. they are pretty good otherwise. >> reporter: they had a little trouble getting him into his rescue carrier and then whisked him into sausalito to get him tlc. >> we were guessing 45 kilos. i would be waging he is heavier than that and i think that's part of why you saw that sedation wasn't quite as much as we would like. generally like to have them laying down. >> reporter: even though the wounds look bad, he could be released within a few days. so today was a really lucky day. for the blonde bomber. obviously fighter. patrick sedillo cbs 5. >> almost went in the drink. as for the other entangled sea lion it disappeared into the water apparently after a tour boat scared it. checking in with brian

spring-- there's been little news abt after a dramatic demolition job this spring, there's just been a little news about the doyle drive construction project because work on the roadway that connects the golden gate bridge to san francisco is happening out of sight. cbs 5 reporter mike sugerman on where to look and what's coming. reporter: it was quite a show watching that old ugly doyle drive come down. but that was back in april. still looks pretty much the same today. so it's been like a couple of months. so you know what? what are they going to do with this? these are the leftovers. when is this going down? don't think they have been sleeping sawing these. >> right now they are doing the little things.

>> reporter: caltrans says it may look like nothing is going on but it is and gave us a behind-the-scenes tour. >> so a big part of the project is part of the work that people don't see as much is the utility work. >> reporter: they have a lot of stuff that's underground and needs to be moved because they have plenty more highway coming in so now they are moving things like water, gas, telephone lines. >> coming weeks what people will begin to see is the demolition of the old high viaduct. you can see the new and the old. >> reporter: right next to each other. they are going to finish the job knocking down that old highway, the leftover part, one piece at a time. >> still actually do it in the opposite order that it was constructed. >> reporter: roadway goes first, then the columns. that makes all kinds of sense. then they will start building another roadway and tunnel that curvy part you now drive on, it's just temporary. >> so if you visualize the roadway continuing along this retaining wall, that will be the permanent roadway. >> reporter: there will eventually be two roads, one northbound, one southbound and two tunnels with a walkway on top. you should be seeing the work starting sometime in november.

it's all supposed to be over in 2015 on what could be the world's most beautiful construction site. mike sugerman, cbs 5. well, down in l.a., they are getting ready for a big endeavour you might say. early friday morning the space shuttle endeavour is going to begin its road trip from l.a.x. to its permanent home downtown at the california science center. so today large swaths of steel plate were laid down in preparation of that trek. not quit a parade but some businesses say that shuttle move may help bring in some extra cash. >> i am hoping and praying that the streets are going to be filled with hungry people and i am prepared to make the best of this opportunity. >> from the log cabin to the space shuttle? >> that is exactly right. >> the 12-mile journey will take two days to complete. the weather put a hold on a 23-mile freefall. the balloon was inflated and

bay after midnight tonight. otherwise the numbers around 9:00 will be from the upper 50s to the low 60s around the bay area. satellite-radar showing us the culprit, low pressure that's spinning abeam the bay area is just going to press south. it's not going to -- if this were to get kicked inland now we could actually get a thunderstorm threat out of it but because it's moving from here to around point mugu it won't kick inland too much. tomorrow a shower or two in the south bay tomorrow afternoon. it could be happening at the moment that paul's on the air tomorrow night so stay tuned on that. rest of the bay area will look for variable sunshine tomorrow temperatures in the mid- to upper 50s beginning the day. pinpoint forecast if you are heading out of the bay area to the great valley sacramento and north from 75 at sacramento to 80 at redding, if you are really heading out tomorrow at the airport looks okay, westerlies to 30 miles an hour in the afternoon and partly cloudy skies from los angeles to new york city which finely gets a little bit of sunshine,

high 64. overnight lows tonight mostly in the 40s a little chillier at santa rosa. 47 degrees there. 53 fairfield. let's do it by the numbers. south bay the same as today. we came down in the north bay and up in the south bay a little bit today. tomorrow's numbers in the 70s for the most part. 74 pittsburg, antioch and brentwood. napa 73. north bay nice, santa rosa at 73. bodega bay 62. daly city 64. showers lingering through thursday morning and warm toward the weekend saturday and sunday. the numbers in the upper 70s and low 80s inland. and then next monday and tuesday a week from now, it looks nice and warm. and speaking of hot, about time for the bay area's sports teams. we'll get an update after a break.

i don't spend money on gasoline. i am probably going to the gas station about once a month. last time i was at a gas station was about...i would say... two months ago. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i go to the gas station such a small amount that i forget how to put gas in my car. [ male announcer ] and it's not just these owners giving the volt high praise. volt received the j.d. power and associates appeal award two years in a row. ♪

the giants in game three w't too complicated.. " " 11 days ago a no-hitter against pittsburg. the game plan against the giants in game 3 wasn't complicated. >> did you talk about the importance of scouting and pitching to that scouting and positioning? >> man, you're going to have to [ indiscernible ] i don't know. i just...

whatever goes on behind me i pay attention but i have no control over that. you're going to have dusty that one. >> bailey opposed by ryan vogelsong whose job was to keep the giants season alive but after a walk and hit, jay bruce ropes a base hit. zach kosar scores and cincinnati has the early lead. but vogelsong settled down got some help from his buddies, hunter pence sliding into foul territory. vogelsong allows one running through five, does a great job. but they need offense. 3rd inning bailey plucks polanco on the shoulder. giants get a base runner. can i have an amen, please is it thank you. after a walk and bunt, pagan to center, they score without the benefit of a base hit. the giants didn't get a base hit until the six inning. bailey was mowing them down striking out ten in the game tying a career-high. top of the 10th inning, jonathan walking, scott roland can't come up with it and arias

is safe. buster posey scores and that's how it ends. the giants win 2-1. they win and stay alive. >> it's good to get this one and move on and you never know what can happen. but i do know that we had to win today. we had no choice. and we couldn't do much in early that game. but these guys fought hard. it's a game that you look back and you are thankful your pitching came through and kept them at bay to give us a chance. we have a break there at the end. >> barry zito will take the hill for game 4 tomorrow. not many have it better now than the 49ers who face the new york giants on sunday at candlestick. alex smith is coming off one of the best weeks of his career. his first pitch of the giants game just a bit outside. but then he threw three touchdowns in a rout over the buffalo bills on sunday. last night, his week got better when he joined vernon davis and

kevin johnson at the obama fundraiser in san francisco. let's put it this way. the 49ers had a better week than the president. >> i have had a chance to meet them. they seem like wonderful young men and -- and -- and just so impressive and poised and so i can't help but wish them the best of luck until they play my bears in week 11. >> boo! >> what happened? what happened? come on. [ laughter ] >> never go against the 49ers. >> so dana king was asking me, dennis, what is a quarterback rating? i'm glad you asked. if you figure in completion percentage yards, touchdowns and interceptions, a perfect quarterback rate something 158.3. smith has 108.7. and he leads the national football league much to dana's happiness. the warriors open the season on halloween and fans can expect more treats than tricks this year. the key to the season is that man!

the stra andrew bogus who came over from the bucks last season didn't play a game but the former overall first pick says he is not injury prone and should be good to go when the season starts. >> like i have said many a time, soft tissue injuries, due to lack of conditioning or being overweight or high body fat percentage we definitely have alarm bells ringing but i play as hard as i can and sometimes i get hurt doing it. >> if you read the papers every day you will drive yourself crazy. if you don't do it at all you don't know what -- you have to find a balance. this isn't exactly evel knievel crossing the snake river but this guy probably could have used a parachute and at the zion national park in utah. here's what it was like on board. 68 foot jump across the >> dana wants to know if they

did a practice run. this is a 68-foot jump across the canyon. plenty of distance but didn't have the landing. bruised heels were the only injury. >> makes my stomach all queasy. >> where is his mother is it. >> you remember when knievel tried to jump the snake river? he got 20 yards out and pulled the parachute. >> that got huge coverage, jewels bergman abc science he had door was there on the scene. >> wi world of sports. >> great show at that time. >> a while ago. >> the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. >> good stuff. >> so 108 quarterback what do you call that? >> quarterback rating and that's very good. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com ,,,,,,
